When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 238

He only wanted to race with Amelie and did not want to complicate matters.

“Isn’t she a good racer? Can’t she adapt to even a minor change?” Ashton went on sarcastically, “It looks like Dash can only race in broad daylight and on a straight road. What kind of dashing is that?”

His words were mean, undermining all of her previous accomplishments.

However, Amelie simply smiled. She casually looked around and asked, “Do you want me to agree to this race that badly?”

Her sharp gaze seemed to be able to cut through the darkness. Elyse, who was hiding in the audience seats, happened to meet Amelie’s gaze and the coldness in it shocked her.

Despite knowing that Amelie couldn’t see her, Elyse couldn’t help but be startled.

She felt Amelie’s question was directed at her for some inexplicable reason.

No… It can’t be!

Amelie doesn’t know I’ll be here!

Elyse tried to console herself before putting on a brave expression and raising her head. When she looked at Amelie again, the woman had already turned her head away, showcasing only her fair neck from behind.

“I agree to it,” Amelie said as she casually strapped on her helmet.

Hearing that, Elyse felt her tenseness decrease and a cunning smile appeared on her face.

Truth was, she was the one who summoned Ashton.

Besides, she also gave him the idea to hold the race in the manner he suggested.

Ashton ignorantly thought that Elyse’s suggestion to hold the race in such a way was merely to scare Amelie. He had no idea that she had an ulterior motive.

Though Elyse couldn’t find out anything from Amelie’s eyes when she looked at her today, from the cornea transplant consent form Ellen brought back previously, it was stated clearly that the donor had donated her left eye’s cornea.

If Amelie was indeed the donor, she wouldn’t be able to see anything with her left eye right now.

With her right eye blindfolded, she would be akin to a blind person.

And how could a blind person race?

Elyse had already thought of ways for Ashton to force Amelie to agree to his suggestion by hook or by crook.

But unexpectedly to her, Amelie readily agreed to it.

Thus, Elyse only had to wait for Amelie’s performance now.

If Amelie completed the entire race successfully, it meant that there were no issues with her eyes.

At best, she was merely the Big Eyes who accompanied Leo during the times he was abandoned. Even if Amelie told him the truth in the future, he would not believe it.

There was no reason for Leo to doubt Elyse’s identity at all, especially given that she had lost her eyesight in her left eye, not to mention her diaries and other information.

However, if Amelie were truly the one who donated her cornea, racing with her right eye blindfolded would almost certainly result in a fatal accident, saving Elyse the need to get rid of Amelie with her own hands.

Meanwhile, seeing that Amelie had agreed to Ashton’s suggestion, Chris did not say anything further. He quickly took two scarves from Ashton’s grasp and handed the bright red one to Amelie.

He didn’t give it much thought and simply felt that the bright red scarf complemented Amelie’s red shirt.

“Thank you,” Amelie murmured, her smile as beautiful as a rose blooming in the darkest of nights.

Amelie’s smile is truly captivating! Chris exclaimed in his heart.

Amelie, on the other hand, ignored everyone else and jumped into the driver’s seat of the car right away.

She then took out her phone and opened her racing app.

Her slender fingers clicked on some settings, and the entire race route was shown on the screen in no time.

A delicate woman’s voice resonated from the phone. “Racing mode has been activated. Good luck, racer.”

Amelie smiled faintly and bowed her head to blindfold her right eye with the red scarf. She then put on her special Bluetooth earphones, which automatically connected to her phone.

With the audio broadcast function, the fact that she couldn’t see wouldn’t affect her performance in the race.

She had also practiced blindfolded racing with Julia so many times that a new race route would not affect her at all.

Meanwhile, Chris noticed Amelie setting the navigation on her phone and assumed it was her habit to do so before a race.

When Ashton saw the same, he sneered, thinking that Amelie was indeed incompetent since she needed to set the navigation for such a simple race.

Elyse, on the other hand, couldn’t see what Amelie had done as the latter was already in her car.

And so, all three cars then went to the starting point.

Chris had previously downloaded a bell sound to his phone and connected it to the loudspeaker.
